If there is one quality that leads to success in life, it is perseverance. And when such tenacity meets with intelligence and authenticity, you have a rare combination. Retired All-Pro NFL wide receiver, Brandon Lloyd brings this type of charisma seasoned by 11 years of professional football experience to every engagement. Lloyd’s versatile background gives him that highly sought-after ability to impart his vast talents to the youthful and experienced alike.
Brandon Lloyd is all about opportunity, drafted in the fourth round of the 2003 NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers, where he stayed for three years. However, Lloyd’s jaw-dropping season came with the Denver Broncos in 2010 where he led the NFL in receiving yards with 1,448 and was named 2nd Team All-Pro, earning him a spot on the Pro Bowl team.
More inspiring than Brandon’s football talent are his accomplishments away from the gridiron. Gifted with an engaging smile and an intriguing disposition, Brandon began his entertainment career at the University of Illinois choosing to attend the U of I because of its prestigious journalism programming. He went on to host segments for FOX Sports Net Midwest and often graced the sets of ESPN, NFL Network, and many others. Philanthropic endeavors like Blessings in a Backpack, which partners with America to ensure impoverished elementary school children are fed on the weekends throughout the school year. Brandon specifically provides backpacks to children in Blue Springs, Missouri.
From the football field to the studio, this media-savvy leader has accomplished it all and the story is nowhere close to nearing the end. In fact, it is just the beginning of a new chapter and a new outlook on what is important.
